Drop-off day can feel emotional — for owners as much as for dogs. Knowing what to expect can make the whole experience calmer and more positive for everyone.
Here’s how drop-off and pick-up works at Daisy’s Digs.
On Drop-Off Day
We aim to keep drop-offs calm and unhurried. A relaxed handover helps dogs settle more easily.
When you arrive:
We’ll take time to welcome your dog and help them feel comfortable
Dogs are gently introduced to the environment
We avoid rushing or overwhelming them
Most dogs take their cue from their owner, so staying calm and positive really helps.
Settling In
Once you’ve left, dogs are allowed time to explore at their own pace. Some settle immediately, others take a little longer — both are completely normal.
We keep routines steady and the environment calm so dogs can relax and feel secure.
During Their Stay
Dogs follow a familiar daily rhythm, including:
Regular meals
Rest periods
Calm outdoor time
Plenty of reassurance and attention
We keep a close eye on how each dog is settling and adjust as needed.
Pick-Up Day
Pick-ups are just as calm and straightforward. Dogs are returned happy, settled, and ready to go home.
We’re always happy to let you know how your dog has been during their stay and answer any questions you may have.
Helping Your Dog Have the Best Experience
To make drop-off smoother:
Keep goodbyes relaxed and positive
Bring familiar items from home
Trust that dogs often settle faster than we expect
Our goal is for both dogs and owners to feel confident and reassured throughout the whole process.
